Private Romania Tours

Transylvania — Romania's most extraordinary and atmospherically rich region — rewards every traveler with a perfect balance of medieval towns, rolling hills, deep forests, and dramatic Carpathian Mountains scenery. Bran Castle is often referred to as Dracula's Castle — the extraordinary hilltop fortress associated with the legend of Vlad the Impaler is Romania's most famous and visited landmark, combining spectacular medieval architecture with the extraordinary stories of Vlad and vampire folklore that have captivated the world's imagination for centuries. Peles Castle is one of the most beautiful royal palaces in all of Europe — the magnificent Neo-Renaissance summer residence of Romania's royal family, surrounded by the deep forests and rolling hills of the Transylvanian Alps, is an extraordinary architectural jewel. Guided tours frequently visit medieval towns like Brașov and Sighișoara — Sighișoara's extraordinarily preserved medieval fortress (birthplace of Vlad the Impaler and a UNESCO World Heritage Site) is one of Romania's most beautiful and historically significant old town destinations. The Transfăgărășan Highway is often rated one of the best roads in the world — a breathtaking drive through the Carpathian Mountains with extraordinary panoramic views of Romania's most dramatic natural landscapes.

The Danube Delta is a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve and one of Europe's most extraordinary and biodiverse natural environments — Romania's Danube Delta is significant for birdwatching and boat cruises, and home to over 300 species of birds and Europe's largest population of pelicans in their natural habitat. UNESCO-listed painted monasteries are located in Bucovina — the extraordinary exterior frescoes of the Voroneț Monastery (the "Sistine Chapel of the East") and other painted monasteries of northern Romania are among the most extraordinary and beautiful religious art monuments in all of Europe. Romania has 11 UNESCO World Heritage sites including the fortified churches of Transylvania's Saxon settlements, the medieval village of Biertan, and the extraordinary wooden churches of Maramureș. The Merry Cemetery of Săpânța in northern Romania is one of the world's most extraordinary and unique folk art traditions — colorful carved oak crosses with humorous epitaphs and paintings depicting the daily life and stories of each person buried there. The Carpathian Mountains are home to Europe's largest population of brown bears — wildlife excursions to observe brown bears, wolves, and lynx in their natural habitat in Romania's dense forests are one of the most extraordinary and bucket list nature experiences available in all of eastern Europe.
